Chicago P.D. (2014) s13e20 Episode Script
The Lost Years
1
My sister was taken.
When's the last time you saw her?
When I was eight.
They believe her disappearance
is linked to sex trafficking.
You have a lead on your sister?
Man contacted the tip line, Marine.
Said she was working a corner.
Told him she thought her name was Shari.
Half the time, I think
if I turn around fast enough,
if the light's just right,
I'll see her there.
Always right there over my shoulder.
- And she still is.
- You want my help?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Hey.
Okay. Where are we headed today?
Got three new RedXpage ads
for potential working girls.
It's the same site where
that Marine said he met Shari.
They're all East Side.
None of them look too good
for her but could be a match.
All right, so East Side.
East Side.
[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
This is her at 6.
She'd be 28 now.
♪
I mean, it's been 22 years
since she was taken.
It's possible she's
still with her abductor.
Or she could have been sold.
Working for a new pimp.
Mm-hmm.
♪
Or she could have gotten
lost again, drugs, alcohol.
The likelihood that she was abused
further by someone else is high.
She could be anywhere, anything.
But I swear I'd know her if I saw her.
I'd still know her.
Are you sure this is it?
No, I'm just guessing.
She goes by Lila on the site,
can't really see her face clearly.
But it's the same RedXpage,
adds up with our timeline.
Police, anyone home?
Might be an old address.
Yeah.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Voight.
What?
What is it?
Eva, listen.
I can
♪
It's not Shari.
She looks like the girl
from the ad, though, Lila.
She's younger than I thought.
Not much bruising.
Yeah, stab wounds probably killed her.
There's no blood here, though.
It's a dump site.
Not recent.
Maybe 12 hours.
This is only a 1/2 inch.
- Yeah, but it's deep,
- See the sides?
Yeah, the knife had a blade guard.
All right, I'm gonna call the crime lab.
I'll get the team down here.
♪
[SIGHS]
Imani?
Sir, this is Shari.
The girl on the left, that's my sister.
♪
All right, prints popped in the system.
Her real name is Laura Kerr,
multiple priors
for solicitation and possession.
No family.
Sorry. I don't understand.
You were here running her?
Why?
We're eliminating her as a possible
in a missing persons case.
It's Imani's sister. Her name is Shari.
She went missing at six years old
from Imani's family home.
Recent tips suggested
she was in Chicago,
had been sex trafficked.
Imani and I have been
working on the side.
It's not a match, obviously.
But there may still
be a connection, okay?
We're taking the homicide.
There is a connection.
That was Shari on her phone.
All right, so run
Laura's phone contacts,
all her movements last night.
And start building a timeline.
And run all the DNA inside that trailer.
Shari's will pop.
They were definitely friends.
They might even have the same pimp.
All right, that's her
trailer right there.
No one's set foot inside except us.
Let's do a full sweep.
Witnesses?
Well, patrol's already
started knock-and-talks.
But I want us to take over.
We run this ourselves.
I wanna know everyone who visited Laura,
if she worked tricks at home.
Dante.
Just find out who she
was with last night.
Come on.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Police, I need your camera footage.
The hell are you doing?
What do you mean, what footage?
- What are you talking about?
- Ma'am
You've been loud all morning long.
I already told the man
Ma'am, there's a camera in your window.
Where does the footage go?
- What?
- Where does the footage go?
Is it a link to an app on your phone?
What is it?
I don't think you're
supposed to be in my house.
Ma'am, ma'am, we just
we just need the footage.
Please.
♪
Come on.
Wait a minute.
I'm still running
the rest of the footage,
but this is the cleanest image.
You can't see the vehicle clearly,
but there's no vehicle
registered to Laura's name.
So my best guess is it belongs
to a john or our pimp.
All right, anything on
Laura's last movements?
No.
We could rerun these images
by the residents,
do a second knock-and-talk
to see if anyone
remembers the vehicle.
All right. We got her phone records?
We should have those soon.
Ruzek's on it.
- ME?
- Still working.
The autopsy preliminary suggests that
the cause of death was
due to sharp force injury.
We're gonna learn more from the ME soon.
But they think the knife was either
a stiletto or a switchblade
based on the shape and size
of the flat guard indentations.
All right, shout at me when
you get those phone records.
Imani.
- Imani.
- Yeah?
Give me a minute.
I also ran the address
for all in-service calls.
No pops for solicitation,
which doesn't mean much
because police doesn't frequent
that park often, so
- We're gonna work everything.
- I know.
Every lead on your sister.
I know.
Look, I need you to tell me
that you also know
we're working a young woman's homicide.
I know.
I need you to tell me
I know what you're asking me, okay?
I can work it.
[PHONE BUZZING]
Saliva sample from a beer
bottle in Laura's trailer
matched Shari's DNA.
You were right. She was there.
♪
Hey, I got the GPS data
from Laura's phone.
It's good.
So there's not much in contacts.
No Shari listed.
But Laura's last tower ping came back
to a complex on West 109th.
Place has multiple vice complaints,
priors for solicitation.
And it was the site of Operation Angel,
which unfortunately went nowhere.
Habitual prostitution site.
It's the last place Laura's phone pinged
before her trailer last night.
Let's hit it.

I'm not gonna keep
asking you, all right?
It is a simple question.
Give me a simple answer.
- Why did you run?
- I panicked.
Because of how you got
those injuries on your face?
How did you get them?
We're gonna find out one way or another.
Imani, the ambo's here.
You should get your legs checked.
You were here last night.
You saw a girl. It went wrong.
So what, you hurt 'em? You killed 'em?
- What? No, no!
- You killed her, didn't you?
No, of course I didn't kill anyone!
Then why does your face look like that?
- Why did you run?
- I didn't hurt them.
- They attacked me.
- Okay.
I didn't touch them!
- They did this.
- Okay. How is that?
I I met them here. Yes.
Working girls.
Yes, okay, fine. Yes.
But once I got here, they jumped me.
They attacked me. They took my wallet.
I couldn't report it.
Of course not.
Good. So why'd you come back?
I I thought my phone was here.
But I didn't touch either of them.
I ran from them. I left.
- And then they were fine
- Was this them?
Yes, yes.
- Yes?
- Yes. Yes.
Lila and Sable.
He's lying.
He's lying. He knows more.
He's probably good for it.
You get anything else?
Fowler's in with Atwater now.
He gave us a timeline.
Said he left the unit at 1:30 a.m.
His GPS says the same.
So does his wife.
He also claims that
he saw them get dropped off
by a black BMW, male driver, white,
40s, 50s, tough looking.
Could be their pimp.
We're processing the vehicle right now.
We're running it.
He didn't get the girls off of RedX.
He got them off a different site.
Embrazia.
- He said her name was Sable.
- Shari.
He could still be lying.
He could have killed Laura
and had their pimp
dispose of her body.
Well, either way, we need more.
Let's dig into Embrazia.
All right, there's no page
for Shari, Sable either.
Ran her picture. It's not there.
All right. Laura is.
This might be something.
This girl, Kat, she's got
the same profile as Laura,
same language, same codes.
Doesn't pop in any other pages.
Okay, so it probably means
she got the same guy
- running her, same pimp.
- Mm-hmm.
This could be our man.
What uh, what's that number?
She's got an SMS number used to book.
Does Laura?
- No.
- Where does the SMS go?
If there's a phone, we got a location.
So what am I looking at?
We tracked the SMS to a burner.
The burner is still on.
It's pinging inside that house.
The place is abandoned,
but it's been indexed to hell
by Narcotics,
Vice, Area Central.
It is a known trap house.
Yeah, it sounds like
it's just a junky crash pad
known for deals
and small-time trafficking.
It's owned by nobody in particular.
So could just walk
right through the front door.
And burn it as a lead.
If the phone is pinging inside,
then our pimp could be there now.
Shari could be there.
And if we move and she's not there,
there's zero chance she'll ever come.
We can sit on it.
Yeah, let's let's
set up surveillance.
We'll see who's there.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Two hours. No one in, no one out.
Whoever's there is there for the night.
We don't know that.
What, 'cause junkies got
late night errands to run?
- We're not burning it.
- If the phone is in there
If, if, you know why you keep saying if?
Because there's a margin for error.
Well, then let me go UC.
Look, I'll go in there.
I'll search for the targets.
If they're not in there,
I slip right back out here,
and we sit here again.
I'm not gonna burn anything.

Sorry. I don't understand.
You were here running her?
Why?
We're eliminating her as a possible
in a missing persons case.
It's Imani's sister. Her name is Shari.
She went missing at six years old
from Imani's family home.
Recent tips suggested
she was in Chicago,
had been sex trafficked.
Imani and I have been
working on the side.
It's not a match, obviously.
But there may still
be a connection, okay?
We're taking the homicide.
There is a connection.
That was Shari on her phone.
All right, so run
Laura's phone contacts,

They were definitely friends.
They might even have the same pimp.

remembers the vehicle.

the cause of death was
due to sharp force injury.
We're gonna learn more from the ME soon.

a stiletto or a switchblade
based on the shape and size
of the flat guard indentations.
All right, shout at me when
you get those phone records.
